 Health impacts: pages 62 and 63 charts
Prevention (primary):
o Most IPV starts before age 25, so primary prevention of IPV must start begin at an early age. (Page 73)
o Promote healthy relationships so patterns can carry into adulthood (Page 73)
o Dating Matter is mentioned (Page 73)
o Build positive and healthy parent-child relationships (Page 73)
o Better understand IPV perpetration (page 74) and look at the community and societal-level factors related to perpetration of IPV (Page 74)
o Better understand risk and protective factors and looking at preventing 1st time perpetration of IPV (Page 74)
Prevention (secondary and tertiary):
o Services are essential for mitigating short-term and long-term consequences and lessening the health burden across the lifespan (Page 74)
o The majority of female victims of IPV needed medical care
o Study IDed a gap in services to male victims of IPV; two thirds said they did not received ANY of the services they needed.
o Disclosures are the first step in victims getting the help they need. Many disclose but only 21% of female victims and 5% of male victims disclose to medical professionals. Victims choosing to disclose to medical professionals may increase if health care professionals would ask and talk about IPV in a compassionate, nonjudgmental way.
